A new study has found seven key factors that could help cut the risk of getting dementia.
The study, which followed a group of 13,720 women for two decades, has now been published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting in Boston.
Pamela Rist, an assistant professor and from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, said: "Since we now know that dementia can begin in the brain decades before diagnosis, it's important that we learn more about how your habits in middle-age can affect your risk of dementia in old age.
